Section 101: Power to amend or repeal enactments

254.Section 99 provides ITAs with a broad power to act. They will be able to use the power except where there are specific prohibitions, restrictions or limitations in other legislation. Section 101 allows the Secretary of State, by order, to amend, repeal, revoke or disapply any such enactment which obstructs ITAs from taking steps to promote the well-being of their areas. This power could be exercised in relation to one or more ITAs.

255.Subsection (5) provides that any order made under subsection (1) is a statutory instrument subject to the affirmative resolution procedure.
